Is it safe to get a BBL, tummy tuck, and lipo 360 if I have asthma?

Question

Luis A. Mejia, MD · Answer

Hello darling,

Asthma isnt a contraindication for plastic surgery, as long as it is controlled and you get a clearance from your pulmonologist first.

Make sure you get the surgery with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Best of lucks.

Dr. Luis Mejia.

Hello! Thank you for your question. Asthma not necessarily makes you ineligible for Plastic Surgery. Your Doctor will make sure you are healthy before surgery. I personally require an evaluation by a Pulmonologist and a Stress Test.

Usually, before having any cosmetic procedure, the surgeon will require pre-op medical check-up, during which you will be asked questions about your medical history, medication you are taking, ask for further information about your asthma,  they will also check your blood pressure and also send you for blood tests to make sure that you are fit and healthy, and able to undergo this procedure. The results then will be reviewed by the surgeon and the anaesthetist, they will then determine if it is safe for you to go ahead with the procedure.

However, if you are considering to have these procedures together you need to think about your recovery- you won't be able to sit on your buttock at least 3 days, however it will also be difficult for you to lie on your stomach as you will be after the tummy tuck, so it might be good to consider doing these procedures in two stages.

In a patient whose asthma is well managed or has not been symptomatic for a long period of time, this combination can be performed. If you decide to stage the procedures, have the lipo 360 and BBL first, followed by the TT about six months later. I would get input or clearance from the managing physician.

Dear ranossamantha736,
your asthma should be under control and you will need to get a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
